Visa completes acquisition of CardinalCommerce

By Mark Nelsen, senior vice president of risk and authentication products, Visa Inc.

I’m happy to announce that today, Visa completed its acquisition of CardinalCommerce, a pioneer and leader in digital authentication. With this new team and their powerful capabilities, we are sharpening our focus on accelerating the growth of digital payments and commerce alongside our financial institution and merchant partners. Using intelligent, data-driven tools, we are securing the next generation of payments—whether made through a browser, mobile app, or connected device.

We are excited to welcome Cardinal’s world-class team, along with its co-founders, Tim Sherwin and Chandra Balasubramanian, to the Visa family. Together we will continue to build the future of payments and commerce.
